Hey, I hope you’re well! Firstly, I wanted to let you know, your books and writing style are amazing and unique, I love them so much! I read Meet What They Send You a while back, as well as roughly half of the long version of Twiceborn. Even though it’s been quite a long time, I still think about them often and have been meaning to restart and finish Twiceborn for so long. The only reason I stopped reading it was because I fell into a reading slump due to simultaneously reading two long books with heavy plots/events. You do an excellent job at portraying very unique, complex characters, with perfectly flawed ,human, reactions, thoughts and feelings. You had me seesawing emotionally between sorrow for what they’ve gone through and frustration/anger at the decisions they make/their behaviour, but yet I still cannot dislike/hate them because it all just makes sense based on who they are as a character as well as their past and just human reactions and behaviours. As a Psych graduate and extremely empathetic person, your writing has me on a constant rollercoaster of emotions. I sound a bit mad rambling on, and I’m not sure if I’m making much sense with my fangirling, but your characters are so human, and imperfectly perfect, and the portrayal of their struggles is so real and impactful, it’s not just a black and white fantasy. You’re books deserve much more hype and I hope you receive the recognition you deserve! I only just realised you’ve posted a sequel to MWTSY and I can’t wait to read it, so please keep writing!
Second, like I mentioned, I want to reread and finish Twiceborn, but I’m a bit confused - what’s the difference between the two versions of Twiceborn you’ve uploaded? Is the shorter on a prequel or sequel? Or is it just simply a shorter version of the same story?
Sorry for the long ramble! Looking forward to more of your work :)

Well, that explains a lot! A few writers do try to consider all those factors when it comes to their characters but I haven’t come across anyone who does it as well as you. Knowing you’ve studied it adds up haha.
Ah, okay, thank you for the clarification. No need to pull it down! I’ll just reread TB like i had originally planned. I’ll probs read it first, and then start In This Place, since it’s only got a couple of chapters atm and I’m really impatient lol. I’m sure I’ll love it when I get to it!

@Aya2004aq Thank you so much for all of the kind words! I'm so glad you enjoy my writing, and that you're also enjoying my characters. I'm also a Psych Major, or was, I have my Masters now, but I like to write characters that are terribly flawed yet...mean well. Due to environment, circumstances, or the people they surround themselves with, many times things don't turn out as planned for them, much like real people,lol. But again, thank you so much for reading what I write! Oh,the two versions of TB...Chiaroscuro was me trying to divide TB up into a series, but TB is the whole story in its entirety. I should pull Chiaroscuro down, I just haven't gotten around to it. I hope you like In This Place as much as you did Meet What They Send You, it's more of a continuation then it is a sequel. I do hope you like it, people like you are the reason I write.--Wyld
